Woman linked to Tottori deaths, partner indicted on fraud charges+
TOTTORI, Japan, Nov. 20 (AP) - (Kyodo)—A 35-year-old woman with links to six men whose suspicious deaths were recently uncovered in Tottori Prefecture and her 46-year- old male roommate were served fresh arrest warrants Friday for fraud after previously being indicted on separate fraud charges.
The six deceased had been acquainted with or had financial troubles with the woman, who was an employee of a bar in the city of Tottori, and police are investigating their deaths with a view to building murder cases.
In the latest development, the two are suspected of conspiring to defraud a local appliance shop of about 1.23 million yen worth of goods between Oct. 8 and Oct. 15.
In their indictments, the man is charged with swindling a tractor from a dealer and the woman with cheating an acquaintance of 1.26 million yen. They were arrested Nov. 2.
